But as is the UMBC way, we weathered the storm.</p>
    <p>This year’s spring commencement exercises featured memorable <a href="https://umbc.edu/leaders-in-public-service-music-and-addiction-research-to-address-umbcs-class-of-2019/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">special guests.</a> Distinguished speakers included Baltimore County Executive <strong>John A. Olszewski, Jr.,</strong> Ph.D. ’17, public policy; Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Music Director Marin Alsop, and National Institute on Drug Abuse Director Nora Volkow. And don’t forget a special appearance by the world’s most photogenic <a href="https://www.wbaltv.com/article/chief-service-dog-graduates-with-owner-at-umbc/27574381" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">service dog</a>, Chief.</p>
    <p>The <a href="https://umbc.edu/category/class-of-2019/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Class of 2019</a> is remarkable in so many ways, with their <a href="https://umbc.edu/from-dream-to-drive-to-degree-five-umbc-journeys/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">dogged drive</a> and relentless commitment to <a href="https://umbc.edu/laser-focus-without-limits-umbcs-newest-grads-choose-their-own-adventures/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">pursuing their passions</a>. They also have a deep focus on international exploration, whether they’ve <a href="https://umbc.edu/umbc-international-students-find-connection-on-campus-from-day-one-to-degree/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">come to UMBC from abroad</a> or <a href="https://umbc.edu/appreciate-the-differences-how-study-abroad-shaped-four-umbc-student-experiences/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">travel the world with UMBC as a home base.</a></p>
    <p>UMBC’s new graduates boast a <a href="https://umbc.edu/meet-umbcs-linda-wiratan-rhodes-scholar-finalist/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Rhodes Scholar</a> finalist and a <a href="https://umbc.edu/1st-sadie-alexander-conference/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">co-founder of the Sadie T.M. Alexander Conference</a>, the nation’s first conference for Black women economists. And a record 14 new and recent UMBC grads were just named <a href="https://umbc.edu/fourteen-umbc-students-and-recent-alumni-receive-fulbright-awards-setting-new-record/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Fulbright Scholars. </a>But even with all they’ve already achieved, we know the best is yet to come for these leaders.</p>
    <p><strong>Linda Wiratan</strong>, biochemistry and molecular biology, and <strong>Samiksha Manjani</strong>, political science, represented the Class of 2019 as valedictorians. Their inspiring messages focused on the importance of working together to enact real change in the world.</p>
    <p>Congratulations, UMBC graduates!</p>

<Title>Elmer Falconer Retirement Celebration, June 4</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,<br><br>After 44 years of service with the State of Maryland and UMBC, Elmer Falconer, Director of Employment and Employee/Labor Relations, will retire from UMBC, effective June 30, 2019. Please join us in celebrating his career and outstanding service at an open house reception on Tuesday, June 4, 3 - 5 p.m. in the Library, 7th floor.<br><br>Elmer began his career at UMBC in 1994 as employment manager for the Department of Human Resources. He was promoted to assistant director and later to his current position of director of employment and employee/labor relations. Prior to joining UMBC, he worked as an investigator/negotiator of discrimination complaints at the Maryland Commission on Human Relations and then as director of personnel for the Maryland Correctional Pre-Release Program.<br><br>During Elmer’s tenure he has successfully worked with employees from recruitment to separation. He has helped numerous individuals launch their careers over the years by providing career guidance, job seeking skills and mentoring interns. As director, Elmer worked with employees by helping them better understand their rights and privileges and he also worked with management to successfully negotiate terms of discipline and separation. Elmer’s philosophy is to always have and show compassion.<br> <br>We hope you will join us in expressing our gratitude for Elmer’s contributions to the UMBC community. Please stop by and wish him well.</span><em><span><span><br><br>Valerie A. Thomas, Chief Human Resources Officer</span></span></em>
